I really like this shot because you can clearly see the train racing the storm. There is a clearly-defined wall of snow falling and the train is in the middle of it! The train was moving faster than the storm and the train would reach us before the snow. Shortly after the train passed, the snow arrived and it was falling with a vengeance.

As the signs on the right side of the picture indicate, the BNSF local is crossing over from Nebraska to Colorado on the Angora Sub. Less than 30 miles left until reaching Sterling.

Just south of Sidney, BNSF's Sterling Local proceeds south on the Angora Sub. It has about 35 miles left to go on its journey, across the Nebraska-Colorado border and in to Sterling.

A rather short BNSF Sterling Local heads south at the south switch of Huntsman. The local dropped of a few cars for the Sidney and Lowe shortline at the north end of the siding, picked up one car, and is now headed back toward Sterling.

At the north end of Huntsman, BNSF picks up a covered hopper from the shortline railroad Sidney and Lowe. The railroad is only 12 miles long and has a pair of GP10s for power.

A few miles south of Mudd Springs, NE, this BNSF manifest has had clear signals since Sidney, NE and will get clear signals all the way into Bridgeport, NE.

This northbound BNSF coal empty is headed for the Antelope Mine in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming. The train came up the Joint Line in Colorado, then the Brush sub, and now it is headed north on the Angora Sub toward Bridgeport, NE.

A few miles south of the tiny town of Padroni, CO, BNSF's Edgemont, SD to Denver, CO manifest is rolling toward Sterling. This spot had been bathed in sunlight until five minute before the train showed up (naturally). So, black and white seemed like the better choice for the shot.

I love the effect a 300mm telephoto lens creates when looking down the tracks over rolling landscape. Five miles off in the distance, BNSF's Edgemont, SD to Denver, CO manifest makes its way south toward Sterling.
